Compare VPS Plans Web Performances

This page allows you to compare the web performance of VPS systems using a variety of metrics. The data is generated by running a web application on the selected VPS, generally for a full week and collection metrics. 1 week is 1M HTTP requests on average.

Pick one or more provider plans, pick metrics and submit. Characteristics of the selected plans
and performance graphs will be updated.

Available Metrics

resptime_total_ms is the mean duration of an HTTP request in milliseconds. Lower is better.

resptime_db_ms is the mean duration spent in the database to serve an HTTP request. It's a good indication of the disk speed. Lower is better.

pxx values are percentiles. For example, the p95_total_ms represents the min duration of the 5% slowest requests. A large gap between the p50 and p99 shows that the performance of the VM are uneven and that there may be noisy neighbours.

cpu_idle is the percentage of the CPU that is unused. Higher is better.

iowait is the percentage of the CPU that is spent waiting for IO. In the VpsBenchmarks environment, IO is mostly disk. Therefore iowait is also a good indicator of disk speed. Lower is better.
